The essays in this volume examine it from a variety of different perspectives and contexts, though with a concentration on the theme of linguistic contact between Anglo-Norman and English, seeking to situate it more precisely in space and time than has hitherto been the case. Overall they show how Anglo-Norman retained a strong presence in the linguistic life of England until a strikingly late date, and how it constitutes a rich and highly valuable record of theFrench language in the middle ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors: Richard Ingham, Anthony Lodge, William Rothwell, David Trotter, Mark Chambers, Louise Sylvester, Anne Curry, Adrian Bell, Adam Chapman, Andy King, David Simpkin, Paul Brand, Jean-Pascal Pouzet, Laura Wright, Eric Haeberli.","brand":"Richard Ingham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280736694523,"sku":"9781903153307","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781903153307_db27f512-7efe-4e8a-9a14-5fe60dfbcc3f.jpg?v=1772487921","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-anglo-norman-language-and-its-contexts-9781903153307","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
